Our Methodology &
Technical Services

Diagnostic precision over destructive guesswork. We approach every project with the mindset of a forensic engineer to preserve the integrity of your home.

Phase 01

Non-Destructive Subterranean Diagnostics

Traditional Plumbers: Guess the location of a leak based on visible water damage, often tearing up multiple areas of flooring to find the source.

The AZ Standard: We deploy military-grade acoustic listening devices and high-resolution thermography to map the exact location of water anomalies beneath concrete, travertine, and hardwood without removing a single baseboard.

  • Thermal Mapping: Identifying subsurface temperature variances.
  • Acoustic Sonar: Isolating the frequency of escaping pressurized water.
  • Trace Gas Detection: Locating otherwise undetectable micro-fractures.

Phase 02

Hydrostatic Integrity Analysis

Your home’s foundation relies on a completely sealed subterranean infrastructure. When a leak occurs, it is rarely an isolated incident; it is often a symptom of systemic fatigue. Hydrostatic testing is the definitive method for proving the absolute integrity of your sanitary sewer and potable water systems.

  • System Isolation: Complete separation from municipal supply.
  • Pressurization: Introducing controlled, static pressure loads.
  • Micro-Drop Observation: Monitoring for infinitesimal pressure drops that indicate failing joints or root intrusion.

Phase 03

Post-Tension Slab Preservation

Homes in the Catalina Foothills and custom builds frequently utilize post-tension concrete slabs. Uninformed contractors who drill into these slabs risk severing a tensioned cable, causing explosive structural failure and catastrophic damage.

  • GPR Coordination: Mapping exact routing of tension cables and rebar before intervention.
  • Surgical Extraction: Precision concrete cutting designed to minimize vibration and dust.
  • Structural Restoration: Restoring vapor barriers and foundational concrete to engineering specifications.

Historic & Legacy Property Consulting

Older homes in historic Tucson districts feature obsolete materials—cast iron, galvanized steel, and polybutylene. We provide comprehensive risk assessments, offering phased preservation strategies rather than chaotic, emergency-driven repipes.
